etcdfs lets you mount a subdirectory of an etcd cluster via FUSE. It only provides read-only access - you should use etcdctl to set keys. The reason for this is on the one hand simplicity and on the other hand the fact that a filesystem API makes it difficult to map the consistency properties of etcd.
The intended usage is to bootstrap confd templates via etcd too. You can also (if you don't want to use confd) use it to store configuration in etcd for programs that don't support an etcd API for configuration.
Currently, etcdfs is not packaged for any distribution. There is no immediate
plan to do this, though there will be a docker container soon. Until then, you
can install it using a recent go toolchain. Assuming, you have set that up
correctly and set your GOPATH accordingly, it's a simply go get merovius.de/etcdfs.
Command line usage is
Usage:
./etcdfs [flags…] [<subdir>] <mountpoint>
Flags:
-allow_other
Allow other users to access this filesystem
-allow_root
Allow root to access this filesystem
-debug
Enable debugging
so, e.g. etcdfs /etcd. If <subdir> is given, it names the subdirectory of
the etcd keyspace you want to mount. If your etcd cluster isn't avaliable on
http://localhost:4001, you should set ETCD_ENDPOINTS to a comma-separated
list of urls that should be used instead.
